get then to give Bromley council a great big kick up the arse and stop
them from vetoing the extension along the Catford branch.

I really can't believe that the residents of Hayes wouldn't prefer an
every 5 minute service to a choice of central London destinations
instead of a 15 minute service to a main line station where they have to
change, just because they lose the possibility of through services to
Cannon Street.

and not to mention the possibility for a 24 hour service




Presumably that comes under the heading of proposed extensions.


it was in the original suggestion

but was taken out because Bromley didn't support it (actively discouraged
it)

The additional costs of converting 5-10 miles of over-ground line is going
to be (relatively) trivial

and the costs of the linking tunnel is going to cost considerably more to do
as a one-off, than as part of the original build

and, of course, it saves on the costs of turn around facilities at Lewisham
